Batch composting is the fastest and most efficient way to produce high quality compost, and this dual bin tumbler makes it easy. Fill one side with kitchen scraps and yard waste, then stop adding materials and let it "cook," turning it every few days to speed up the decomposition process. In the meantime, add new scraps to the other side. When the first batch of compost is finished, remove it and repeat the process, letting the other side cook.

This composter is odor free and easy to use. It takes up very little space for the capacity. I would have rated it 5 stars if the parts were labeled to make assembly easier. Also, I took another reviewer's advice and covered the air holes with mesh to avoid leakage. Since it's wintertime, I bought red wigglers to speed up the process and they seem happy. The mesh keeps them from falling out.

First is I put it together in less than 1 hour, alone. All parts were in the box and they fit. I have a usual size rural town lot and it is perfect in my backyard. So far the family of racoons have not bothered it. Easy to spin. I have not seen my first batch yet, but it's only been three weeks. The only reason it does not receive 5 stars is one of the sliding doors does not slide without pounding it with the palm of my hand. also a booklet describing how to use it most efficiently would have been nice.

I live in a condo apartment with an open terrace on which I grow plants and vines. I purchased the composter after a year or so of relatively successful composting in a large container. I am hoping that the rotating,two-chamber feature will make things easier. The assembly was relatively easy, but like others below, I needed the extra clue from customer service: namely, the long sides of the foot bars go on the ground edge. For awhile, i was convinced I had been sent the wrong parts. This is not automatically clear from the diagram. Customer service was helpful --and available on the day after Christmas. After that, things went easily, and I was actually able to lift the tubs by myself. The metal parts were packed separately, and the doors fit fine. As to how well it composts, stay tuned. . . .

I recently got this dual composter as recommended by a friend who loves hers. It was easy to assemble and I am using it. Don't know how fast it works but easy to use and the video on the garden supply site was a great help to me as a beginner.

I bought this for my 89 year old Mother who has composted her kitchen waste for practically all of those 89 years. This is "high tech" for her, and just what she wanted. It arrived quickly, was easy to set up (having read the reviews about paying attention to the process) and seems to be working well for her so far. Having the doors at waist height is good, and it looks like it will be easy to empty. The verdict is still out on the finished compost product since we just set it up this month.Her only problem so far has been that the sliding door is a bit sticky and when the temperature is below freezing it freezes shut. We can't blame the product for that though, we'll take that up with Mother Nature.

Planning to start first vegetable garden this spring. The axel was missing, but one call to Gardener's Supply and a very friendly lady apologized and sent the missing part at no charge or shipping cost. I found it easy to assemble, but it did require two persons to attach the black tumblers to the frame. Just starting my first batch of compost, so no issues with odor yet and no opinion on the quality and size of the mulch.

This composter was very easy to put assemble single handed. I like that there are two separate compartments, one for the compost that's in its finishing stage and one for the new compost. I do wish the bins were larger and held more compost. I've had this for a month now and one side is full and in the finishing stage, the other side is half full. I also like the ease of the spin of the bins. There is way more odor from this composter than from my previous unit. I had to move it way behind the garage and I can still smell it. The price was great though.

Easy assembly except make sure that you are putting the legs together so that the base is the widest. I needed to put lubricant on the sliding door for easy opening and closing when putting materials in the bin. I love that it doesn't take up much room and is off of the ground. Easy. It will be interesting to see how easy it is to remove the compost once it is ready!
